Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

You need to ask his attorney this question because they know all the facts. There are a lot of things that can happen, but his attorney could be specific with an answer.

The purpose of a competency hearing is to determine whether the defendant understands the process he is in, whether he can contribute to his defense, and appreciates the charges against him. If he doesn't and is incompetent, the court will determine whether he meets the criteria for involuntary commitment. The court wants to know if the defendant can be restored to competency and whether he can or can't, the court wants to know if under the law and facts the defendant should basically go to a facility (not prison) for treatment.

I agree his attorney would know more about the details of his situation.
